TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLACES, ONE DESTINATION
Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo comprises two strikingly different areas within 4 miles of each other, which are connected by a four-lane freeway.
Ixtapa, a carefully planned resort, was developed in 1972, and offers world-class luxury hotels and spas, clustered around Palmar Beach. The resort also has colonial-style shopping malls and excellent boutiques, jewelry stores and handicraft shops, a modern marina and two beautiful golf courses.
Zihuatanejo, como contraparte, es un auténtico pueblo de pescadores situado en una bella bahía que debido a su agradable atmósfera ha sido nombrado Pueblo Mágico. La historia de este lugar se remonta a la época prehispánica. El pequeño pueblo cuenta con paseos adoquinados junto a la playa, hoteles de lujo, restaurantes típicos y tiendas de prestigio.
More than 150 restaurants offer plenty of delicious choices, but Zihuatanejo is the best place to try regional fish specialties like the "pescadillas" and "pescado a la talla.” The fish and shrimp tacos are simply out of this world, as well as the ceviche and the famous Zihuatanejo “tiritas.”
The semi-tropical climate ensures average temperatures of around 82º F and sunshine 300 days a year. Take any of the regular international or domestic flights, or any of the luxury bus trips. If you prefer to drive, take Road 200, a great highway, along the coast. The trip from Acapulco will take approximately three and a half hours, and the famous port is just 156 miles south. Many pleasure cruises stop over at Zihuatanejo, a very popular port of call.
Enjoy the entire destination with a Tour of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, which will take you to the best spots, including viewpoints offering stunning panoramic views of the area and traditional markets.
